I've only been able to understand little bits here and there, but I have established that: 1. Kyouko is cute; 2. Kasumi has a severe glandular problem; and 3. Hatsumi might just as well stop wearing clothes altogether.

True... the flashbacks is/are one of Saki's best suit but... haaah... if only its possible to increase the page per chapter while maintaing a bi monthly stat...
Really can't wait to see more of Jindai...

Well it seems Himematsu is going to get some training to be able to fight Saki more properly for the rematch, we'll have to see if they can pull an Achiga and powerlevel enough to be up to snuff for the semi's or at least so Kyoku doesn't go into deer in the headlights mode the next time she looks at Saki.

i have a bad feeling about Himematsu's training ... which play style of Saki are they exactly hoping to deal with - Saki's +/- zero or her rinshan kaihous or both ? I think Saki's +/- zero is a limiter and it may be to their advantage if Saki continues to play that way. It is certainly a playstyle that is filled with holes that can be taken advantage of. Unfortunately, Saki playing +/- zero isn't a guaranteed thing and she can freely stop aiming for it whenever she wants to.

On the other hand, stopping Saki's rinshan kaihou is going to be interesting. Hisa's strategy is to make a straight zone but that would need the cooperation of the other players which Kyouko may not be able to get. Anyway, whatever strategy that they implement, I'm actually hoping that they would be moderately successful at it... Though, I have a feeling like the +/- zero, sealing Saki's rinshan may backfire considering Saki might actually try for other hands other than her favorite yaku and as her earlier games show us she is perfectly capable of it.

I would also suggest playing like Saki - doing rinshan to intimidate her, but Maho already covered that in training camp. It would be interesting to see Kyouko try out this strategy since this one is guaranteed to get a reaction though the chances of backfiring is tremendous since Saki is already prepared about the situation.

Even the pro said Saki is a monster also Lol'd at using solomon power to get Yakuman. It's as if that this world is really in the same world as mudazumo

I think that's one of the strategy that they will be using. Without a flow like Touka, I don't think it's possible to keep Saki from using any kans...

Ah nice set up chapter. I wonder if Zenno is their real coach? maybe that would explain why Suehara says she can't lose now. And for the Eisui side i've just got to say wow Hatsumi is overdressing when she swims (for her).

* So step one in Akasaka's plan to "upgrade" Kyouko was... give her an image makeover? I understand that one's appearance oftentimes reflects the inner persona, but oi.
* Trolling aside, it looks like Akazaka really called for reinforcements to help prepare her girls for the semis. We see one of them (she called in 15 other players), Kainou-pro (who incidentally is Takimi Haru's cousin), who will emulate Saki's playing style for Himematsu's practice sessions.
* Oh, and Kainou apparently also felt Saki's "awakening" from where she was, and indeed plainly calls the younger Miyanaga a Monster.
* Speaking of Kainou, I loved the cracks done by the Himematsu girls. "I heard that you used '''King Solomon's powers''' to get yakuman!" Truly Saki exists in the same universe as The Legend Of Koizumi.
* Also it looks like Kyouko is determined NOT to flub things up, since a "Zennou-san" is going to watch. My Les-Yay radar is tingling...
* On Eisui's side... We see, uhm, Kasumi being "purified". Unfortunately to me it looked like she was really getting a breast exam, while she and the examiner (Haru) were naked. Ggh, those boobs, so disgusting.
* Speaking of Haru, it seems like HER bust size was bumped up to compensate. Damnit.
* So the spirits possessing Jindai do so while in a cycle? And their strategy was to wait for the stronger spirits to be channeled during the Finals? Sorry girls, that didn't quite pan out.
* Also it looks like Hatsumi and Jindai are going to be left behind for the Individuals.

I second this motion... she looks great...

On the quarter final she called up 15 amazing people to represent the opposing teams... now, for the semi-final she called 20 amazing people to tune their playing style as the opposing teams... either there are players coming from the two new teams that possess abilities requiring more people to emulate or for preparation for the monster they just encountered or both...

wonder if Kainou is a high level Maho...

Kainou: I-i-i-i-it's.... OVER 9000!!!

now, I want to see Jindai sits on a table in the Individuals with the Miyanaga monsters... I mean siblings... she needs to call down not just the strongest god but the whole bunch... she'll need every help she can get...

Now, who can be the fourth player? Arakawa Kei perhaps?
